Hydrophonic Tunnels

Due to its climate, tunnel farming has become the preferred choice amongst many growers in Africa

In Hydroponics, plants are placed in growing medium and nutrients are delivered directly to the roots, plants may grow with their roots in a nutrient solution only or in an inert medium. This is a more efficient, faster way to grow plants compared to growing plants in soil.

Because hydroponically grown plants dip their roots directly into nutrient-rich solutions, they get what they need much more easily than plants growing in soil, so they need much smaller root systems and can divert more energy into leaf and stem growth. With smaller roots, you can grow more plants in the same area and get more yield from the same amount of ground (which is particularly good news if you're growing in a limited area like a greenhouse or tunnel). Hydroponic plants also grow faster. Many pests are carried in soil, so doing without it generally gives you a more hygienic growing system with fewer problems of disease.

Vegetables, plants, and flowers can be easily grown under the solar panel arrays. Fruits grow in a shorter period of time as compared with soil system.

Due to its climate, tunnel farming has become the preferred choice amongst many growers in Africa and is seen as a cost-effective option to improve consistency. As opposed to places such as Europe, farmers in Southern Africa enjoy moderate climates, allowing farmers to easily grow year-round without the need for climate control.

Hydroponic farming has seen a steady growth over time and is fast becoming the preferred choice for growing in a controlled environment. The nature of hydroponics allows it to be stacked for maximum yield in minimum space. Typical farming provides one level solution, however with these innovative systems, one can cultivate crops on multiple levels to increase revenue potential.
